Letting Go


"I let go of everything and everybody that is no longer part of God's plan for me.  I forgive and move forward with the light of God guiding me.  I release negativity.  I have all the energy I need to live my life's purpose. I have all the energy I need for myself and my family."

I wrote this quote down years ... maybe even, decades ... ago.  It's part of a series called "Mirror God."  That may sound pretentious, but it fits with my life purpose.  As you may know, many years ago I asked God to show me my life purpose.  What I saw was a lighthouse.  A lighthouse is most important when it's storming.  It shines a light to guide and stays steady.  A lighthouse does not go out into the sea, pick up the ships and bring them back to the shore. It shines a light.

Being willing to let go of things that are not God's plan has been costly.  I've let go of everything from Real Housewives to Catholicism.  I need to focus more on choosing to be happy and, if God's grace permits, holy.  If I do so mindfully, I will have the energy I need.
